Summary

Camanche Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Camanche, Iowa, with 370 students. The school is part of the Camanche Community School District, which is ranked 245 out of 313 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Camanche Elementary's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the ISASP, is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 49.2%, compared to the state average of 67.9%. In contrast, nearby schools like Bridgeview Elementary and Virgil Grissom Elementary have significantly higher proficiency rates, often exceeding 90% in certain grade levels and subjects. Additionally, Camanche Elementary has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 11.1% to 23.4% in recent years, which is notably higher than the state average and the rates observed at nearby schools.

Camanche Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 181 out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 476 out of 576 in 2024-2025. This trend is concerning and suggests that the school may be struggling to keep pace with academic performance standards compared to other schools in the state. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.05% to 39.46% in recent years, which may indicate that the school is serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges. Addressing these issues and learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools could be crucial for Camanche Elementary to improve and better serve its students.
